A select group of micro brewery’s will be at The Oyster Jam. The beer goes well with the large selection of traditional festival foods along with raw and specialty oysters. Jacksonville’s down-home oyster roast is a celebration of music and the water lifestyle. The combination of live music, craft beer and the oyster roast along the St. Johns River is a tradition to our unique culture.
